How to get Google Lens on home screen - Realme 7 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I can find Google Lens in the app list (settings), but it is missing in the app drawer. I can access a limited version with the camera, but I want the real Google Lens app in my home screen. It's too cumbersome to always go to the settings to start this app.
Does anybody know how to get Google Lens on the home screen?
Thanks in advance!

[Xposed][APP][4.0+] Quick Access (from Lockscreen)

* This is an Xposed module. You MUST have Xposed Framework installed. Otherwise this app WILL NOT FUNCTION.. You can download Xposed here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
With Quick Access, you can allow your selected apps to be launched over the lockscreen without unlocking your device. You can also swipe up from the on-screen home button to launch Google Now or launch applications from lockscreen widgets without unlocking your phone . For example, allow your camera, music, and to-do list applications to be launched over the lockscreen to access them in an instant. Allow your friends to browse your music library without fully unlocking your device, quickly add a task to your to-do list; or never miss that photo opportunity; with Quick Access the possibilities are limitless!
In addition, Quick Access also enables you to expand your status bar in secure lockscreen and also show all widgets (instead of only lockscreen widgets) in lockscreen widget picker
Computer Mode: This allows you to let the timer keep going, even when the screen is off. This means that you can use EyeRelax to limit your time on the computer, television, or whatever other device you own, without using battery to keep the screen on and the timer running!
Notes:
- To launch applications from DashClock widget, please select DashClock in Quick Access. Or more specifically the activity: com.google.android.apps.dashclock.WidgetClickProxyActivity.
- To launch Google Now by swiping up from the on-screen home button while in the lockscreen, please select Google Now in Quick Access, or more specifically the activities: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.SearchActivity AND com.google.android.velvet.ui.VelvetActivity.
- This application does not actually launch the applications (yet), it just allows them to be launch (via other methods) over the lockscreen. A good application to do that is DashClock.
Downloads:
Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TwinBlade.QuickAccess
Xposed Repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.twinblade.quickaccess
will surely giv a try.

Yes it should work with all stock Android lockscreens.
experiencing what I believe is a bug:
I had three apps check to allow quick access, I rebooted, and now when I go back into QA they are all unchecked, and I can no longer check any other apps due to the 3 app restriction.
Sry but i don't really understand how it works. I tried it with some apps. Can someone post a example pic?

Thanks for the bug report. The issue has been fixed and version 1.2 has been push to the play store and the xposed repository.

I'll give an example. If you select your music application in Quick Access, you don't have to unlock your lockscreen to view that app. If you launch your music app and turn your screen off and on again, normally you'll have to unlock the lockscreen to access your music app, but with QA the music app will be displayed over the lockscreen so it's the first thing you see when you turn your screen on.
Another example with lockscreen widgets. If you have a google now widget on your lockscreen and click on it, normally you'll have to unlock first; with QA google now will be displayed over the lockscreen.
I have the examples make sense.
Ahh know i understand, thx!
Have trouble with this. I select the apps in QA, reboot, and nothing on my lockscreen.
Any suggestions?

If you launch one of the apps you selected, turn your screen off and on again, do you see your lockscreen or the app you just launched?
Does not work for me I am on slimrom

is it available in the Downloads section of the xposed app??

If your Downloads page is set to sort by status, it's right there in alphabetical order. If it's sorted by last update, it's the fifth listed. If it's sorted by creation date, it's the first one at the top of the page. And this is ignoring the fact that Xposed has a search function.
Quick Access (v. 1.3) crashes every time I try to launch it.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with stock ROM (4.3).
OP: High hopes for this little app if got working perfectly!
BUG: Reboot command fails to execute. The app gets stuck at the command, and force closes!

Sounds like a root issue to me.
FWIW, it's better to just use the reboot option in the power menu anyways. The reboot option in the power menu allows apps and processes to terminate gracefully whereas when an app reboots it just kills all apps and processes.
interesting concept. so is this the same kind of idea as what google maps does then? where if the screen goes off, and you unlock, it will just wake up to maps? and then if you try to back out, it'll request that you do the passcode?

Google photos problem

I can't get Google photos to consistently upload. I have settings in the app set to wifi and while charging, but they only upload while the app is open and stop within a minute or two when using a different app or turning the screen off.
It's running the latest global rom, but i think the problem has always been there. Miui seems to kill the app and there's nothing i can do to stop it. In battery options i have set the restrict apps n background to off, and also in developer options the memory setting to off.
Any ideas?
Open Google Photos fully then close it. Click recent apps button, find Google Photos icon, drag down until you see a padlock and release. App won't be killed. Do this for all apps you want to keep alive. Also enable in Auto-start.

thanks for the tips, I'd forgotten to try the lock function and will give that a go. I did think of enabling autostart for it but it didn't appear in the list, i guess because it's a system app.

No google feed on homescreen

Hi all,
Just set up my Australian version of the mate 20 Pro and it's going fairly smoothly however I noticed that I don't have "Google feeds" option in my home screen settings (see screen shot). Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Maybe it depends on your provider or country
As far as I know, EMUI comes with a feed called "HiBoard" and the default launcher only seems to support that. You can use NovaLauncher to get the google feed working though (in theory).
On mine theres an option in Home screen settings to enable Google feed by swiping right on the homescreen, I've mine disabled but it was on by default.
I get to it using settings, home screen & wallpaper, home screen settings, its then at the bottom for me.
I'm not using any 3rd party launchers, stock.
DOH! just managed to see your screenshot and mine is where HiBoard is on yours.

euro versions have google feed. chinese/int versions have hiboard
It's just as easy to click on the little G in the Google now search bar widget that some people including myself keep on homescreen.

Question Questions about Mi 11 Lite 5G

Hello, I picked up my device and upgraded to 12.5.5 EU rom with regular OTA. Couple of questions where I couldn't find answers with Google.
1. Stock camera app does not remember the setting for 4K30 in Video settings. I select 4K30 but next time I open the app the setting goes back to 1080p30. Anyone has this issue?
2. Is there a way to set Google Photos as default photo app in stock camera app instead of Gallery?
3. I use app drawer but the phone keeps adding newly installed apps to the home screen. There was a toggle for this but couldn't find it in settings. Any ideas?
So far seems like a nice device. Good size and lightweight. I will install BSG Gcam on it but I still would like to use Stock camera for videos.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also make sure battery optimization is on and app not allowed to run in background (unless needed of course). Some apps/processes are also called by other apps. Ultimately root is the way to go if you want full control.
Hello, manisa 236!
First I want to apologize for my English. I am still learning it. In this post I will try to answer some of your questions.
1. Stock camera app does not remember the setting for 4K30 in Video settings. I select 4K30 but next time I open the app the setting goes back to 1080p30. Anyone has this issue?
Open the stock camera app and go to settings, scroll down and activate "Save previous mode" slider.
2. Is there a way to set Google Photos as default photo app in stock camera app instead of Gallery?
I don't know it that is possible.
3. I use app drawer but the phone keeps adding newly installed apps to the home screen. There was a toggle for this but couldn't find it in settings. Any ideas?
Go to "Settings --> Home screen" and open the inside menu cold again "Home screen" and at the bottom of this menu you shall see the option "Place new apps on the Home screen" toggle. Just disable it.
Greetings from Spain!
Thank you very much for your answers. In camera app Save Previous Mode remembers the shooting mode (Photo, Video, Portrait etc ) but when I choose 4K30 under Video and open the app next time it still defaults to 1080p30. It looks like a bug.

Question Is there a way to save an app pair to the edge panel where one of the apps starts in pop-up view?

There's a few apps that I use the calculator with but there doesn't seem a way to create an app pair for the edge panel where one of them starts in pop-up view or minimised as a bubble. Is there a way?
Why not go the other way around and use the calculator from within the edge panel?
Maybe you want this results:

Thanks but unfortunately this just creates app pairs. Doesn't give the option to start one of them either as a bubble of a pop-up window.

Yeah that seems the best compromise doesn't it. Quicker than launching the app manually and changing it to a pop-up app.
